  1. Taxi to pattaya from swampy was 1200bt in August.

    Better option is to walk to departures and hail a taxi that's just dropped off.

    I find a lot of the taxis at the official point are non road worthy. Maybe I'm unlucky!

    I like to take a modern newer car rather than an old shitter where the breaks are crap and the tyres are worn to the thread. Safety first in my eyes.

    Good luck.

  2. Friend of the wifes has a highend restaurant and seems to be doing very well but has very little competition. He also has a very nice resort that gives him an excellent return.

    He works extremely hard and has identified exactly who he wants as his customers.

    His biggest moan seems to be the quality of and retaining of staff.

    Sent from my GT-I9003 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    There's always somebody who know some hi-so big wig.

    Load if rubbish.

  3. I think you will find you still have to pay stamp duty on the agreed value plus the survey costs and a few more fees.

    I am not sure the stepdaughter can transfer the land unless she is over 20. To do so she would need a court order and I understand this is not likely. Land in a minor's name can not be leased for more than 3 years or transfered without that.

    What survey costs?

    Bought and sold land in Thai wife name and never a survey in or out.

  4. Now I have all my cash out of Thailand 68/70 in - 43.5 out) I hope we see the THB - GBP climb each week. Selfish maybe but that's life.

    Good luck

    And that is exactly how one makes the issue meaningful. Good call.
    You have been lucky and done well, not many people win at both ends of the range, most are happy to make a bit, ok a bit more than a bit. It does not happen to often. When the crisis started I dumped a lot PDQ into a 4 year bond at 6.27% soon the rates tumbled, I did well but after the 4 years the best I could get was 2.35%, nice stories but not of any value to todays levels or to do with the GBP rate to the Thai BT!

    At present its seems to be hovering between 49.4 to 49.8, 50 seems to be a barrier to far although I hope not, but, it a heck of a lot better than the 43.5 earlier this year.

    I was lucky, know nothing about markets etc.

    Pure luck.

    But I do wish I'd've bought plenty Thai gold back in 2001 at £80 per baht!!!!

  5. No, it's nothing to do with Thailand I accept but seeing as he's an Ozzie living in UK and Thailand is halfway I thought I'd ask!!!!

    I think his didgereedoo has got him into all sorts of trouble!!!

  6. So, the old Ozzie Rolf charged with serious offences.

    He'll go to prison if guilty.

    Any thoughts?

    Personally, these historic allegations if indecent assault could be or could not be true but images if kids I hope he goes down

  7. Thai smile is like the budget part of Thai airways.

    The Frankfurt - BKK route is TG.

    I flew Thai smile internally a few weeks ago and all was perfect.

    It was only an hours flight but served a sandwich and drink,

    I was quite impressed as I to wad apprehensive.

    Good luck
